Our Pollinator garden was a big success with over 1200 visitors. I was a little worried about the bees but found it interesting to watch the bees feeding off the plants. Putting this garden together was very educational. A former staff member published a article about the garden. The link is https://freespiritmedia.org.... Attached are a couple of pictures of the garden. Looking forward to 2020 pollinator garden once the weather warms up.
As the climate changes everyday, we are getting our team ready for the spring to come. Our community is anxiously awaiting for our New 2020 Spring pollinated garden, where we welcome our local insects, birds and the family of raccoons.
